About The Reluctant Romantics

The Reluctant Romantics is Kate Stewart's early four-book contemporary romance series, opening with Room 212 (2014) and continuing through The Fall (2015), The Mind (2016), and The Heart (2016). Each book follows a different central couple navigating messy, emotionally complicated relationships, in the slow-burn, angst-forward register Stewart would carry into her later, better-known Ravenhood and Bittersweet Symphony books.

As one of Stewart's earliest series, The Reluctant Romantics predates the interconnected-universe structure of her later work, with each book reading as a more self-contained relationship drama.
